So I go starlink as Openreach can’t reach us with full fiber, in the starlink app I looked at our first month’s data and we had used nearly 500gb. This month so far, we are up to 765gb.

Is that a lot for a homelab house?

I also don’t have all my services here, I have most at OVH.

              Well, at least when someone says TiB, you don’t need to wonder if they actually mean something that is 10% more or not. Because quite often, TB (Terabyte) is written/said when the actual measurement was in TiB (Tebibyte)

                Plus TiB are based on powers of two instead of ten which makes more sense for computers. It’s not really a practical difference (2 vs 10, not the size difference which is significant) a lot of the time but I personally find powers of two more pleasing.

                Further question: do you really need to wonder if someone actually means TB or TiB? I rarely find that it matters in the great scheme of things, unless you’re buying hard drives. In which case you already know they’re using TB. 👍

    Wanted to flex my huge upload numbers, but turns out i’m down to 20 Tb a month! Guess next few nights will be spent trying to figure out what happened.

    Just the servers this month 31,7TiB and 3,4TiB. Yearly 563,6TiB and 54,2TiB. This does not count computers or other devices.

    For a fair comparisson, take the smaller server, that one is acting as a more normal service, hosting Nextcloud and Immich among other daily life things.

    I continue to be astonished at how much data people are getting through.

    Am I technogrouch for continuing to watch video at no more than 1080p?

      I rarely watch any video. Video tutorials just aren’t as informative to me, than if you read the exact same material. If it’s a tutorial on something mechanical, where part x has to line up with part z, or the wheels fall off, sure.

      I only just recently UPGRADED to 1080. I spent the better part of the last decade only dealing in 720p.

      My TV has been 1080 forever, I plan on upgrading to 4k for HDR, miniLED. I might try some 4k stuff 🤷‍♂️

    My ISP does not have a data cap or anything like that so I pay no attention to that. What are you doing that you only use that much?

    I do around 0.75tb per day, so like 22 per month. A lot of that is probably seeding and streaming as 90% of it is upload.

    800 - 900 GB per month, 2 adults and 2 minors. Moderate downloading from usenet, all services local, only reachable using wireguard.

    Router has 35d uptime, WAN interface stats shows Tx/Rx 3,9TB / 28TB. Most of the downstream is obviously IPTV and other streaming services, upstream is mostly offsite backups.
